. . — 4th
ship from England to S.A. with government passengers for 1857 ; 5+1
births and 0+1 deaths on the passage ; William Arpthorpe,
surgeon-superintendent.

note: on the passenger list for the ship Royal
Albert,
notations have been added in the margin, such as "Melbourne." You
will see I have added those notations to this transcript. — Robert

from the Emigration
Commisioner's Report for 1857

... The lowest contract price for each adult's passage was that
of the Royal Albert, at £12 19s. per head ; the
total cost of this vessel to the colony for 231 statute adults embarked
being £3,068. The higher prices are found as the year advanced, the Sumner receiving £17
8s. per head, and costing the colony for 235 statute adults £4,138.
The largest outlay incurred on account of any one ship was in connection
with the Henry Moore, the largest ship of the year,
which brought us 382 statute adults (equal to 450 souls) at £16 per
head; the total passage-money amounting to £6,104, and the total
charge to £6,309. The aggregate charge to the colonial fund for the
year's emigration was £51,799 ; of which £50,340 was for passage-money
at contract rate. The amount of gratuities to surgeons, officers, &c.,
during the year is set down at £3,697 ; the lowest amount being £201
to the Navarino, and the highest amount £451 to
the Henry Moore. ...

of
wife is indicated,
